Clinical Characteristics of Older Heart Failure Patients With Hospital-Acquired Disability: A Preliminary, Single-Center, Observational Study.
Article in Cardiology research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study investigated the clinical factors related to hospital-acquired disability (HAD) among 70 patients (median age, 78 years; interquartile range (IQR), 78 - 83) who were hospitalized for heart failure (HF) at Ayase Heart Hospital between December 2019 and October 2020.
methodsHAD was defined as a ≥ 5-point decrease in Barthel Index (BI) scores from admission to discharge. Twenty-nine HF patients (41%) developed HAD after admission.
resultsCompared to the non-HAD group, the HAD group had higher Kihon Checklist scores (14 points (IQR, 11 - 17) vs. 9 points (IQR, 6 - 13); P < 0.01) and prevalence of multi-faceted frailty (90% vs. 29%; P < 0.01), a longer urinary-catheter-placement period (3 days (IQR, 1 - 5] vs. 1 day (IQR, 0 - 2), P < 0.05), less daily number of steps (457 steps (IQR, 301 - 997) vs. 1,692 steps (IQR, 1,227 - 2,418); P < 0.01), and moderate-intensity physical activity time (0 min (IQR, 0 - 2] vs. 1 min (IQR, 0 - 3); P < 0.05).
conclusionIn conclusion, lower physical function and general physical activity and longer urinary-catheter-placement are associated with HAD.
